  • (I miss Mayberry)

    Sometimes it feels like this world's spinning faster
    Than it did in the old days
    So naturally, we have more natural disasters
    From the strain of a fast pace
    Sunday was a day of rest
    Now it's one more day for progress
    And we can't slow down (and we can't slow down)
    'Cause more is less ('cause more is less)
    It's all an endless process

    I miss Mayberry
    Sittin' on the porch, drinkin' ice-cold Cherry Coke
    Where everything is black and white
    Pickin' on my six string
    People pass by and you call them by their first name
    Watchin' the clouds roll by
    Bye, bye (bye, bye)

    Sometimes I can hear this old earth shoutin'
    Through the trees as the wind blows
    That's when I climb up here on this mountain
    To look through God's window
    Now I can't fly but I got two feet
    To get me high up here
    Above the noise and city streets
    My worries disappear

    I miss Mayberry
    Sittin' on the porch, drinkin' ice-cold Cherry Coke
    Where everything is black and white
    Pickin' on my six string
    People pass by and you call them by their first name
    Watchin' the clouds roll by
    Bye, bye (bye)

    Sometimes I dream I'm drivin' down an old dirt road
    (Down an old dirt road)
    Not even listed on a map (ooh, yeah)
    I pass a dad and son carrying a fishing pole
    But I always wake up every time I try to turn back

    I miss Mayberry
    Sittin' on the porch, drinkin' ice-cold Cherry Coke
    Where everything is black and white
    Pickin' on my six string
    Where people pass by and you call them by their first name
    Watchin' the clouds roll by
    Bye, bye (bye)
    Bye, bye (bye, bye)
